Wühre, also known as Wühre an der Limmat, is an historic pedestrian-only street in the Schipfe district of Zürich, Switzerland. It runs, along the left (western) side of the Limmat river, for around 0.1 miles (0.16 km), from Weinplatz in the north to Münsterbrücke (at Münsterhof and Stadthausquai) in the south.

Hotel zum Storchen, at Weinplatz, is a popular destination for tourists.[1] It is also a departure point for the Limmat river boat.
